Slice of Life 26: Camp Counselor


Listen Later

Most American children attend a summer camp over the long break. There are many different kinds of camps, such as sports camps, art camps, and dance camps. While some camps are day camps (where campers are dropped off for the day then picked up in the afternoon), other are sleepaway camps, and campers spend 1-2 weeks away from home living on camp grounds. Around the age of 16, campers become counselors-in-training.

Dialogue

A: Nem acredito que tô no grupo da Mary esse ano! Ela é sempre tão legal!
B: É mesmo, eu também adoro ela! Ela foi minha monitora uns anos atrás. A gente fez um montão de atividades de arte. Agora que sou monitora, quero fazer a mesma quantidade de atividades de arte.
A: Você sabe qual é a faixa etária do seu grupo?
B: Sei, os pequenininhos.
A: Tá animada?
B: Tô! Eles são cheios de vontade pra tudo e a verdade é que querem participar de todas as atividades da colônia de férias, até as mais bobas.
A: Ui, mas isso significa que você tem que ficar de olho neles.
B: Não deve ser tão difícil assim.
A: Ia ser uma tragédia se você perdesse um deles.
B: Que isso! Eu não vou perder uma criança!


A: I can’t believe that I am in Mary’s group this year! She is always so nice!
B: Yeah, I love her too! She was my counselor a couple of years ago. We did a ton of art projects. Now that I am a counselor, I wanna do just as many art projects.
A: Do you know what age group you’re gonna be working with?
B: Yes, the little kids.
A: Are you excited?
B: I am! They are so enthusiastic about everything and actually want to participate in all of the camp activities, no matter how silly they are.
A: Yikes, I guess that means you’ll have to really keep track of them, though.
B: How hard could it be?
A: Well it’d be pretty bad if you lost one.
B: What?! I’m not gonna lose a camper!
